Ratings and Reviews
Hidden Gem!
How is this app not more popular? It is hands down the best Chinese learning app. Heck, it’s the best language app period out of all the ones I’ve tried for various languages. I love that they make much of the content available for free for those who can’t afford it. But for $8 to unlock the whole app, it’s a steal. I would’ve gladly paid a higher one time payment. Most language apps have unfortunately gone down the subscription model road, and I highly hope this app doesn’t do that because it deters a lot of people from signing up and learning. I love the graphics, music, games, and other educational features. I sincerely hope that this app one day gets the attention it deserves and becomes the top selling Mandarin Chinese app. And I would love to see this company branch out to apps on other languages if possible (like Japanese or other Chinese dialects).
Developer Response ,
Thank you! We are so blessed to have you as our user! :-)
Great compliment to have/use
Great tool to use to get into Chinese and the pronunciation. The location/context based learning is very effective. I started a formal course and this is way better than that at a basic level, but having a teacher and book gives you some additional information or makes it easier with some of the letters that aren’t pronounced as they are written. I suggest you take a Chinese course to make this tool even more powerful.
Suggestions: I think it needs a better search tool for words and phrases. Not limited to what you have seen already either. Also it should let you group up words and phrases contextually in the book word bank. It gets too cluttered otherwise. The tests also could be better as they are bit sized. Other type of tests would be nice. Like having the missions self generate conversations in another stage or in the review section. I would add a web browser stage with words for all the things we use online.
Best Mandarin Learning App
I've used several apps to learn Mandarin, and this is easily the best one. It covers all the major aspects of the language, such as character recognition, HSK, chengyu, and strokes. The gamification is a great system to keep you interested, and the mini games are a fun "study break" (although sometimes it relies less on your Mandarin knowledge and more on game aspects, which is fair for a game).
My only recommendation is a more where you can practice exclusively writing. The minigames so far tackle character recognition, identifying tones, and vocabulary. aminigame where you focus solely on writing would be nice, or if not a game then a study option.
Overall a solid Mandarin learning app, highly recommend!
